Wolf Barrel 5.56

Two days later.

As promised, Isaac brought gratuities.

The location is in the lobby of the same hotel. Due to cash receipts, it's more appropriate here to have limited access to people than a restaurant or something.

11: 00 am.

A corner of a floor without people.

At one of the round tables, me and Isaac sat face to face.

There are four escorts beside Isaac. I can see from the lack of clearance and the armor worn, that they are swordsmen with considerable arms. As a precaution for going out, I guess this is just about right.

Even so,

"You've become a lot of a man, Isaac"

I smile and point that out.

Isaac scratched his head like he was in trouble too. There were many marks of a beating on his right cheek. If you ask me, my father beat me to death when I arrived home. Well, I don't have a choice. That's it, I'm rather lucky.

Nevertheless, I think. I wouldn't put it on the table, but I was surprised at Isaac's change.

The look was so tight that I didn't think he was the same person.

The weakness in the back of those eyes, shown by Totori, was completely gone.

Sitting and talking are grand.

There is a saying that if you don't see a man for three days, look at him with a scratch, but Isaac was growing up like someone else in just two days. I was kind of pleased with the change.

"This will be my thank you."

Isaac put a bag of coins on the table from his bag.

Bigger than I thought. The moment I put it down, I also made a heavy noise.

Isaac's story says the sword as an extra reward sold for half a million luvs. He even showed me the receipt in discipline. So it will be 1.5 million luvs combined with the base reward. Did you bring it in silver coins (10,000 ruves a piece)?

Receive a solid bag and check inside.

And my jaw almost came off unexpectedly.

Hey, why is it all gold?

He asked Isaac as he narrowed his eyes to the golden light emitted from the inside of the bag.

"The reward was 1.5 million, wasn't it?

I don't know how you saw it. It's more than that.

Isaac nodded mysteriously,

"I did promise 1.5 million... but my father really wanted to thank me for saving my brother, and I had an extra 10 million. I agreed with that too, so I decided to give it to you accordingly. Would you please accept it?"

That was a big offer for me to make.

With this 10 million, the problem of protective equipment will be eliminated. I can even train.

It makes adventure easier at once.

But no.

My samurai road follows my loose cheeks.

You're not, Ogamisingo.

He devoured his teeth, plucked only fifteen gold coins, and returned the rest.

Was the behavior shocking, "eh" Isaac pulls the root of his eyebrows to the letter (c).

"Isaac, I'm glad you feel, but you can't take this"

"Duh, why not!? Was it something you didn't like?"

"No, this is my problem."

"Mr. Ogami's, is it?" Kyoton.

"Yeah," I said. "I didn't save you for money. I acted with faith, not money. I dared to sign with you for 1.5 million to prove it to myself. I don't want to overshadow that decision later."

"Ha, ha," Isaac with the look on his face that I don't understand, but I just have to convince him.

That's right. It may appear oddly in your eyes.

I think I feel like I should just take it without dressing weird.

But I just have to convince you.

That's how I want to live.

"Okay. I will honor your feelings, Mr. Ogami."

Yeah, I'd really appreciate it if you did!

I can't do this!

Because it's 10 million!!

I knew you'd wait. Just half of it! I was desperate to enjoy what I was about to say.

Drop off the bag with blood tears in your heart.

Once again, I felt painful that piercing myself was hard to make.

When you're sinking like a rancher who's finished dropping off calves,

"Mr. Ogami is still a fine man!

"... Huh?

Suddenly, I glanced at him.

The look on Isaac's face was like a fever.

What the hell, man?

Isaac began to praise me with momentum during the turbulence.

"People are vulnerable to money. It makes sense for everyone to jump if you have a lot of money in front of you that you can set free. But Mr. Ogami didn't! Respect your beliefs and greed yourself! That's not something you can do in a lifelong spirit!

"Yes, no, you know what, Isaac?

I don't give this one time to be humble, and Isaac's words continue.

"Speaking of warriors, everyone, in the second word, gold, gold, gold. It's just like spitting on chivalry! Like Mr. Ogami, there are rarely anyone who doesn't get flown into money and tries to pierce his pride! I am fiercely moved right now! You are the true man!

"No, it sounds moronic to the people behind it, and it's rude, right?

My gaze hurts flying over Isaac.

"I'm glad you're feeling that way, okay?

"And Mr. Ogami..."

No, I can't hear you at all. On his own, Isaac was obsessed with making his eyes suck and praising him. Looking at it this way, I guess it's a 15.6 boy.

I'm not supposed to feel bad...... honestly, Isaac's pure praise was distressing.

"Thank you so much for letting me decide then!

"No, that's..."

My chest hurt so badly.

"I woke up because of you! As my brother, I'm ready to face the difficulties!

"I don't think so."

The pain gets severe.

"That, and this, is because of Mr. Ogami's, that powerful word."

"No, Isaac!

I reinforced my tone and was forced to block the conversation.

I couldn't have listened any more.

Isaac puts his neck on me like that.

"What does it mean to be different?

"I... I'm not such a fine person"

I revealed my face in my chest. [M]

That night.

At the Fountain Square, my heart.

My first real battle in my life.

Besides, in my own hands, my life is at stake.

If you make mistakes, they will take not only you, but even your young life.

There was no way I didn't feel pressured about that.

If you go around your head, you'll get as many worst scenarios as you want.

But if that's how you're swallowed up by fear, you'll be blown into cowardice and unable to move. "I'm irrelevant, hit the other one!" That's what I didn't want to get away from Isaac. I wanted to respect that feeling that I wanted to help him.

So I desperately pushed my anxiety out of my mind.

I put a mask on my emotions and thought only "what can I do" to wake up the drawing.

Don't let your resolve dull.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't make it through the earth. [M]

I'll take care of everything! And I couldn't have the courage to say it.

And at the same time, I couldn't forgive Isaac for just being round my back.

Isaac, the party, is just shaking with his ears blocked, even though someone else's I am so desperately fighting anxiety and still trying to go rescue him. I couldn't forgive that attitude that I would go on my own if I kept leaning down.

I even remembered my anger at who I was doing it for.

If at that time.

If my heart can afford it.

If I had any real experience. [M]

I might have been able to carry in every weakness of Isaac like that.

But I couldn't do it then.

I couldn't afford that very much.

I couldn't move forward on my own. I craved the trigger.

Intense triggers (motives) like when walking carriages are forced to get involved.

So.

To Isaac, who sinks, deliberately makes a breakthrough and is forced to encourage consciousness.

I let the words of determination drag me out.

That's how...

He forced Isaac to push his back.

I had a lot on my mind then.

I'm not going to deny all of that.

It's not like I'm reflecting or anything.

I don't want to apologize to Isaac or anything like that.

Just.

I couldn't wait to be praised for taking the first step myself. [M] I'm not the hero or anything that Isaac expects.

Freed from the pressure, he walked through the woods at night in tears.

And I was reminded again.

"I'm sorry... I'm not the kind of person you think I am"

I revealed who I was, staring into Isaac's eyes.

Who I am, weak.

Then,

"Pup."

One of the escorts blew out trying to hold his mouth with his hand.

I'm not going to blame you for that. Naturally, they laugh at me.

But Isaac was different.

"... who laughed now, step forward"

Released a sharp word that cut through the air.

Until just now, the puberty boy shadow hissed.

There was Isaac with a different face.

The man stretches his spine like a current flowing through his hips and leaves one step forward. Isaac stared at it.

"... ask you. Can you find a single Bandit Buzz stronghold, rescue Anton, and kill everyone else there?

"Yes, no"

"Do you deserve to laugh at him?

"Oh, there isn't," the man's cheek is pulling.

I could see the clarity and fright.

"Naturally. If, for once now, you try to imitate my benefactor. Then I'll have the same eyes as yesterday's manukee. This is not a threat. You know what I mean?

"Also, I'm sorry"

"Enough. Back off."

"Yes."

The man took a step back as he blued his face.

I was quietly amazed at how it went. [M]

That weak boy, with only his gaze and words, gave him a sip of the man he was bent on.

Isaac grew into someone else, not only in his work and appearance, but also in his contents. I mean, what did you do yesterday?

Isaac loosened his grim expression and turned to me.

"Excuse my men, forgive me"

"Yes, no, that's okay," naturally.

"Thank you. Then I apologize for my disrespect. Mr. Ogami."

"You are never weak."

Um, after listening to all that nonsense.

Isaac didn't let himself feel any dust, such as discouragement, and he ran out of words.

"Being forced to be conscious, I don't have a single grain of dissatisfaction. I even remember empathizing with the anger you felt. And more importantly, I'm not disappointed in you. Instead, I listened to you earlier and was impressed once again that you were more than I thought you were."

"No, but"

"He who acknowledges his weakness and tries to face it,

Better than those who beat 100 enemies. It's my father's word.

I could see you now and understand what my father meant by the words he said.

I'm afraid to admit I'm weak. I'm more scared of exposing that to people.

Everyone wants to turn away and cover up.

But I won't, and Mr. Ogami, who can confess, is never weak.

Mr. Ogami, I respect you as a man. "

"Oh well... thanks..."

Just give it back and make the best of it. I almost cried a little.

I should have saved you, but I felt like I was saved.

Then I don't know which one is older.

Then there was the sound of the cup playing between us.

The distracted owner made us a cup of coffee for two.

We smiled silently and put our mouths on the brown liquid.

Then we talked a couple of times, and Isaac said, "I want to go apologize to Totori myself," so I promised to accompany him. Isaac said he couldn't move forward if he didn't do it.

It's not hard to imagine how much malice you can hit with Totori.

I could still decide to go myself.

Isaac, you're not weak anymore.

While I'm immature, as a warrior, I'm on my way as an adventurer.

Isaac, too, will now move on with his life of misery as a nobleman.

Our path is different. [M]

But the difficulty is the same.

Lost in every step of the way, falling, and still having to move on.

Between young people pushing their way without a path.

We shook hands together.
